Chapter 269: Deception
Meng Jin chatted with her from time to time, but there was coldness in his eyes.
She took the fence, she didn't know how he looked, Yuan still had the heart to answer, all the way, found that the scene around her became more and more unfamiliar, and her heart was inevitably uneasy, "Sir, how far is it from what you said?" β
"Niangniang is tired?" He spoke like a spring breeze, "Why don't you find a place to rest first?" β
Thinking about it this way, there is no need for this. She shook her head.
Mu Xiang also felt that something was wrong, but after all, the teacher in front of him was a teacher personally chosen by his wife, with profound knowledge and a clean background, so he didn't want to say anything.
Turning around, I don't know where I turned in, the population is getting sparser, and the light in the alley is dimming.
In the end, there is a lesson from the past, Ruan Yuyi's hands oozed cold sweat.
Meng Jin, who was one step ahead of her, kept walking, and the faint light at the end of the alley fell on the top of his hair, and the pale blue embellishment on his body was also a little deeper. He didn't look back, and suddenly said, "Niangniang, have you ever heard of another village?" β
The current scene is indeed somewhat similar.
As soon as Meng Jin spoke, she dispelled the uneasiness in her heart a little, and she no longer thought about it, "This alley is long." "They've been gone for a while.
He squinted his eyes and said slowly, "Don't worry, Niangniang, it's almost there." β
She hummed, kind of yes. Suddenly, Mu Xiang next to her pulled her sleeves, and she was suspicious, "What's wrong?" β
Mu Xiang grabbed her sleeve, paused, opened her mouth, and said after a while, "Miss, the slave suddenly remembered that you asked the fourth girl to tease the bird later, didn't you?" If the girl is told to wait for a long time, she should make trouble again. β
It is true that the birds of this day have not yet been fed. She also stopped, looking sideways at Mu Xiang, her eyes dark.
But she didn't make any fun with the birds.
Mu Xiang obviously had something to say.
"I forgot about this stubble, and the idle child should blame me." She didn't puncture the wood incense, and followed her words.
Meng Jin turned around when he heard the movement, his face was immersed in the darkness, and he looked a little more bone-like, a little gloomy, "Niangniang, this is going to be a good appointment?" β
This is a bit arrogant.
Ruan Yuyi frowned slightly, but she was still polite, "After all, I should be idle first, why don't you go with Mr. next time?" β
He was silent, and the hand behind his back quietly gestured.
"It's all here, just ahead." His tone was stiff, as if he had to go.
"Since Niangniang said that she wanted to go back, why do I need to explain it to you." A voice came from the side of the alley. Meng Jin's body was slightly stiff, but he changed into his usual smiling face, and he still looked as warm as jade.
The person who came was Wen Pheasant, dressed in regular clothes, and walked with his arms crossed.
The two stood facing each other, clearly smiling, but there seemed to be a bit of chill in the air, and there was quite a confrontational posture. Both looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
Wen Pheasant was nearby, and Ruan Yuyi didn't believe that he wasn't there. She pursed her lips and didn't move.
It was Wen Pheasant who spoke first to break the current situation, "Lord Meng did not enter the top three in the palace test a few years ago, and now that the cheating case has been solved, if it is according to the original ranking, Lord Meng should be Tanhua." Your Majesty hasn't had time to compensate, but you can't find you, my lordβ
"Where have you been all these times?"
Meng Jin's face changed slightly, lowered his eyes, and still smiled with a smile, "I am looking for another source, no, it just so happens that Miss Gongzi in the Mansion of General Zuo Xiaoqi is missing a gentleman, so she will go down." β
So where is he when he goes back in time, when he is disappointed?
Meng Jin avoided talking about it, and Wen Pheasant didn't ask.
Under the snow-white beauty, Ruan Yuyi looked slightly stunned, it turned out that the gentleman surnamed Meng in front of her was the Tanhua who was squeezed down because of Cheng Xingqiu's actions.
Wen Pheasant shook his head, "In this way, our family will lead Niangniang back first." β
"Volunteer." His eyebrows curled and he made a "please" gesture. And then it really didn't follow.
.
Ruan Yuyi didn't make a sound, but just followed Wen Pheasant all the way to the entrance of the alley.
As the light grew brighter and the voices of people gradually increased, the pheasant beside him stopped, saluted, and stepped aside.
She remained silent, looking at the long and jade shadow in front of her through the fluttering white veil.
Jiang Huaiyang opened her fence with two fingers, carefully arranged on the brim of the bamboo hat, his eyes were extraordinarily calm, and because the little lady was standing in front of him with a good look, he was faintly afraid.
"Don't want to know where the other side of the alley is?" He asked.
She also heard the strangeness, and knew that now was not the time to be angry with him, because she went down, "Where is it?" β
"King Jing's Mansion."
His voice was clear and light, clearly with a bit of coldness, not to her, but because of the four emperor brothers who were immortal in his thief heart.
This Meng Jin is none other than King Jing's staff.
At this time, Mu Xiang said in a deep voice, "Miss is no better than slaves and maids, she doesn't often go out to do errands, I'm afraid I don't know, this alley is indeed a shortcut to King Jing's Mansion." β
It is impossible for Mu Xiang to lie to her, not to mention that Meng Jin is really a little weird.
No matter how you say it, he became a jinshi at a young age, which is a height that many scholars can't reach in a lifetime. He is brilliant and talented, how can he not be reused by the top.
When A-Niang used him, she also checked it. He was clearly in an official position, but after that, he resigned angrily, and then, according to his own account, he went to teach at a small private school. Sending someone to his private school to ask is true.
But now that I think about it, how can a person who is unwilling to fall into the first place, how can he be willing to be annihilated in a small private school for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, she also knew that she had received a favor from him this time, because Yingying gave a salute, and said lightly, "Thank you Your Majesty this time, if Your Majesty does not dislike it, after a while, the concubine will embroider a small pillow, and then Brother Tuo will send it to you." β
Listening to her polite but detached tone, Jiang Huaiyang's lips pursed, and he only squeezed out a chuckle. He asked, with some heart-to-heart, "Do you have to be so clear with me?" β
She couldn't bear the waves on her face, "If you have a favor, you will be repaid, it should be so, why is Your Majesty unwilling to accept it?" β
He was so blocked that he was speechless, silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Then I will send you back to the head office?" β
Seeing that she was silent, he only assumed that she agreed.
.
A few people went back to the general's mansion like this.
Ruan Yuyi was walking side by side with him, thought about it, slowed down her steps, and deliberately took a step behind him.
Jiang Huaiyang was also aware of it, his hands under his sleeves were slightly clenched, and his bones were white, but he still indulged the little lady's small actions.
The main entrance of the General's Mansion will not be opened easily unless it is an important matter. A few people took a detour to the East Corner Gate. When he took this idea more, he was glad that she had a small step.
But even so, I still dislike that this road is too short, and the next time I see her, I don't know what excuse to find.
"Don't let that person into the mansion again, as for the matter of Mr. Teaching-your brother's can be transferred to the Guozijian." He pinned her scattered sideburns behind her ears with great ease.
She subconsciously dodged, and both of them were stunned.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
He watched as she stepped into the mansion, and the door of the lacquered Zhu slowly closed before his eyes.
This is the second thank-you.
